Is there q good book you’d recommend to learn about this topic? I know the basics of biology but never went too deep into the basics of plants fb I always wondered how they actually work. Kinda worried when I have to transplant something on how long they can stay without soil etc

Jeff Lowenfels has a series of books about fungi, microbes, bacteria, and nutrients that I really enjoyed. They’re all fairly short and accessible for someone without a bio background.

Not OP, but for a gentle introduction Merlin Sheldrake‘s Entangled Life is pretty amazing.
